Five Minutes & Five Bucks

When you donate just five dollars to our children’s museum, you’re not just supporting a place filled with wonder and discovery — you’re fueling our daily operations, enriching hands-on programs, and helping us build a bright future for generations of curious kids. Every dollar helps keep the lights on, the exhibits vibrant, and the learning alive.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. We’re also inviting you to commit five intentional minutes of play with your child. In a world full of distractions — phones buzzing, screens glowing — those five minutes are a powerful gift. It’s a chance to put down devices, step away from the noise, and really connect. Whether you break out a board game, explore the outdoors, or take a trip to the museum, that focused playtime sparks imagination, strengthens bonds, and creates memories that last.

We invite everyone—parents, grandparents, caregivers, and friends—to commit five intentional minutes of play. Whether you have young children at home or simply want to pause and reconnect with your own sense of wonder, these five minutes are a chance to put down distractions, unplug from screens, and embrace joy. 

Together, your five dollars and five minutes create a ripple of joy, learning, and connection — right at home and in our community! Join us in making every minute count.
